Naval and Military Intelligence. The autumnal half-yearly inspection of troops stationed at Aldershott were begun on Monday, and continued throughout the week. On the Ist day the regiments in spected were the Ist (Royal) Dragoons, the Ist Battalion 14th Regiment, the 31st Regiment, the 75th, and the 85th. The Royal Dragoons were inspected by Major-Gen. Hodge, C.B„ commanding the cavalry brigade at Aldershott. The gallant brigadier was on the ground by o'clock in the morning, and began by viewing the officers' chargers. He then visited the adult and infant schools, and subsequently examined the clothing in the stores, the regimental and troop books in the orderly room, the troop stables, and the whole of the men's quarters. All these were is a very satis factory condition. In the afternoon the regiment was drawn up.on parade, and was put through a variety of evolutions incidental to such an occasion, by Major Jas. Ainslie. The Major-General expressed himself much pleased with the soldierly bearing of the men, and the general appearance of both men and horses. The Ist Battalion 14th Buck inghamshire) Regiment was paraded at 10 o'clock, and the companies were inspected in succession by Major-General Bates, commanding the 2d Infantry Brigade. In the afternoon the battalion marched to the Long Valley, where it was put through some rapid movements by Colonel Budd, and through the bayonet exercise by Captain Hawley. The 31st (Huntingdonshire) Regiment and the 85th (Bucks Volunteers), which have but recently arrived at Aldershott, were inspected by Lientenant-eerteral Sir J. L. Pennefather, and by Major-General Brook Taylor, commanding the Ist Brigade. The regiments were in spected, and went through a series of field movements in a very dashing manner. Lieutenant-Colonel R. J. Eager, commanding the 31st, and Lieutenant-Colonel Gray, commanding the 85th, were highly complimented by Sir John Pennefather and the Brigadier. The 75th (Stirling shire) Regiment was inspected by Major-General Rus sell, and acquitted itself to his entire satisfaction. It was put through the manual and platoon exercises by Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon, and through the bayonet exercise by Major Maunsell. Oa We,nesday the regi ments inspected were the 14th Hussars, the 2d battalion 60th Rifles, and the 833 Regiment. The Hussars were in spected by Major-Gen. Hodge, who pursued the same minute line of examination as in the case of the Royals on Monday, and with a like satisfactory result. The regiment was urder the command of Lieut.-Col. Sir W. Russell, C.B. The 2d battalion 60th Rifles, under the command of Col. Palmer, C. 8., eves inspected by Major-Gen. Bates on Wed nesday and Thursday , and performed a series of very inte resting manoeuvres in a highly creditable manner. The 83d Regiment. under Lieut.-Col. Hankey, was inspected by Major-Gen. Russell, and proved itself to be in a high state of efficiency. It was put through the manual and platoon exercise in admirable style by Major Venables, through the bayonet exercise by Major Bates, and through battalion and other movements by Capts. Wakefield, Huyshe, and Kers lake. The 39th Regiment was inspected on Friday by Major-Gen. Russell. The regiment was under the com mand of Lieut.-Col. Munro, C. 8., and it performed a num ber of minute and important evolutions in first-rate style and to the entire satisfaction of the brigadier inspecting. The inspections will be continued during the present week. The 23d company of the Royal Engineers is under orders to proceed from Aldershot on the 17th inst. to Chatham, and will be replaced by the let company from Devonport. On Saturday the undermentioned parties left Aldershot Camp for the School of Musketry at Hythe :—Lieut. and Adj. Lee and one private, Ist Royal Dragoons—Lieut. and Adj. Grieve, V.C., and one private, 2d Dragoons—Lieut. and Adjt. Raper and one private, 39th Regiment—Lieut. Hosier and one private, 2J Dragoons—Lieut. Bradford and one private, 39th Regiment. A fatal accident occurred at Aldershot during the field day operations in the presence of the Duke of Cambridge last week. A man named George Jackson, a private be longing to the Royal Dragoons, was thrown from his horse, and sustained such severe injures that he expired a few days afterwards, and was buried on Friday with the usual military honours. The Rev H. lluleat,who during the past three years has occupied the office of principal chaplain to the forces at Aldershot, has been transferred to Hounslow, to succeed the Rev. Mr Hodges, appointed to the principal chaplaincy at Aldershot. Major-Gen. Lotd W. Paulet, C. 13., commanding the south-western military district, on Saturday inspected the 69th Regiment, under the command of Col. E Mackirdy, on Haslar-common. After the usual manoeuvres of a firing field-day, which were performed with celerity and precision his lordship proceeded to the new barracks occupied by the regiment at Gosport, with the regiment on its return to quarters from H islar, and inspected the hospital, schools, the regimental and company books, the men's d;nners, &c., with all of which he was well satisfied. At the close he ex pressed to Cul. Mackirdy and his ofll.lers th , " pleasure he would have in being enabled to make a highly favourable report of the condition ef the regiment to the Field Marshal Commanding in Chief. The iron-cased screw steamship Prince Consort, 35,Capt. G. 0. Willis, C. 8., and the iron ship Hector, 24, Capt. G. W . Preedy, C.B , which arrived in Plymouth Sound from the eastward on Saturday morning, commenced receiving coal immediately, and in the afternoon left the Sound by the eastern ehannel. Towards dusk the Channel squadron hove in sight to the eastward. Yesterday morning at day light they were observed again under canvas only, cruizing. .Between 9 and 10 o'clock they were seven miles from the breakwater, in two divisions, close hauled, beating up Channel. Wind S.E. ; fresh breeze, puffy. Besides the Prince Consort and Hector, there were the Edgar, 17, Capt. G. T. P. Hornby, flag of Rear Admiral Dacres, 0.8 —the iron ship Black Prince, 41, Capt. Lord F. Kerr—the iron ship Warrior, 40, Capt. the Hon. A. Cochrane—the iron ship Defence, 16, Capt. A. Phillimore—apd two others, one of which is supposed to be the iron cased screw steamship Research, 4, Capt. A. Wilmshurst. The Vesuvius, 6, paddle sloop, Capt. R. V. Hamilton, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, from which port she sailed en the 16th September, calling in at Sciily for fuel. The Vesuvius has brought home a number of naval and military supernumeraries and invalids from her Majesty's ships and troops serving in the West Indies and British North A mer ica. The powder and shell were taken out of the vess e l y es terday at Spithead, and s he afterwards steamed into P ortsmou th harbour. The Himalaya, screw troopship, Capt. E. Lacy, has a number of boilermakersgand other artisans employed upon her at Portsmouth, making good her defects sufficiently to enable her to complete another 12 months' service. Her Majesty's troopship Urgent, Capt. Henderson, from Quebec and St. John's, Newfoundland , all well, bound to Portsmouth, put into Falmouth on Saturday afternoon. There was a strong east wind, and she was short of fuel. She has:on board the 2d battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards, under command of Col. Stephenson, 550 officers and men, with 120 women and children. Her Majesty's gunboat Blazer, from Galway to Queens town, J. F. Prowse, R.N., lieutenant commanding, put in at Crookhaven, Cork, on Thursday last. Her Majesty's screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 1,466 tons, 400 horse power, left Chatham-harbour at an early hour on Sa turday morning with the intention of making her official trial of speed at the measured mile, near Maplin Sands, in order to enable the Admiralty officials to ascertain her steaming qualities since the numerous alterations and improvements recently effected on board. For some days previous to the trial the corvette's decks were crowded with dockyard me chanics engaged in getting the vessel out of hand, and a numerous body of artisans and labourers were working on o of 2o ft .T screw— required hours screw, and rs which h were occupied in clearing the well, lifti ng t altering the blades from ah board up to 11 o'clock th e p revious ni g ht, in order that the Cadmus might be ready to p roceed on her official trial the following morning. L ate on Frida y it was discovered by the officials connected w ith the en g ineer department of the dockyard that the screw—a w a Griffithsf has b e e n alterings ub s i trt t i e n d i t f s o r pitch,he old eu A d d m accordinglyir severalal bladedty pi n tc e h42ft. to propeller, n officials on board to super intend the trial on Saturday were Capt. W. K. Hall, C. 8., commanding the Steam Re serve ; Mr Baker, inspector of machinery afloat and chief engineer afloat ; Mr Hutchins, assist. -master shipwright; Mr Blakey, Queen ' s pilot, and several others. The draught of water on the Cadmus leaving the harbour was 15ft. 6in. forward and 17ft. aft, which scarcely gave suffi cient immersion for the screw. The wind at the time was blowing strong from the eastward, with a force of five. Soon after the Cadmus had left her moorings at Folly Point a defect was discovered in the working of her screw, and it became evident that the propeller blades were set at too great a pitch. Under these circum stances Captain Hall decided on not placing the steamer on the measured mile, and a run was only taken to the Nore and back, the working of the screw being still un satisfactory. The official trial of speed was accordingly deferred, and in the afternoon the Cadmus brought up along side the Benbow, 72, where the workmen immediately com menced making some further alterations in her screw. In this they were employed the remainder of the day, the trial at the measured mile being postponed. Opportunity will now be taken to give the corvette a better trim, for which purpose 2ao tons of coal will be placed on board. It is stated at Chatham that the Cadmus will be commissioned in few days by Capt. J. F. Roes, the same officer who paid that vessel off when put out of commission at Chatham. The first supply of the new description of bolts for secu ring the armour-plates to iron-cased ships, the invention of Major W. Palliser, late of the 18th Hussars, which, on the recommendation of the Ordnance Select Committee, has been adopted by the Admiralty, has been completed at Chatham Dockyard, and in future will be used in scouring the iron plates to the several targets to be tested at Shoe. buryness. The principal feature in the invention is the plan adopted for entirely preventing the nuts of the screws being broken off by the violence of the blows aimed at the target and against the head of the bolts—an accident which the numerous recent trials have proved to be of constant occur rence whenever there is what is termed an impulsive strain upon the bolts. The defect has been especially felt during late experiments at Shoeburyness, where iron plates at tached to the targets by the existing description of screw bolts, have been exposed to fire of heavy ordnance. The reason of such accidents is obviously the diminution of the strength of the bolts caused by the thread of the screws being cut into their substance. In the armour bolts just completed at Chatham Dockyard Major Palliser has com pletely remedied this fatal defect by so constructing his bolts that their screw threads at the end are, as it were iII relief, or, in other words, so much thicker than the bolts themselves. The stem or shank of ,:he bolt is purposely made slightly smaller in diameter than the bottom of the thread of the screw, the effect of which is that the exten sion due to the strain will occur throughout the reduced part of the bolt, and not on the thread of the screw, which latter, it is suggested, may, if required, be constructed of steel and welded to the shank. Numerous experiments have demonstrated that in iron and other metallic bars sub jected to sudden tensile strains, the extension occurs wholly at the weakest points in the bar. In the late official trial of Major Palliser's invention made at Shoeburyness before the Ordnance Select Committee, four different methods of fastening armour-plates were tested—namely, 1, that by rivets ; 2, by means of Warrior bolts; 3, by improved Warrior bolts; and, 4, by Major Palliser's method as de scribed above. The result of the experiments, as recorded in the official report of the competitive trial, was an easy triumph for Major Palliser's method. All the bolts on the occasion referred to held firm, and none snapped their screw-heads, notwithstanding the heavy pounding to which the plates they fastened were subjected, while the other three plans for bolting on the armour-plates failed sooner or later. The new bolts just completed at Chatham Dockyard will bo employed in securing the iron plates attached to the new target in course of construction at Shoeburyness, alongside other iron plates attached by dif ferent methods. Lord Bateman and Mr. Gawthorne Hardy, M.P., at Leominster, The twenty-seventh annual meeting of the Leo minster Agricultural Society was held at Leominster on Friday. The show of stock was small, attributed to the scarcity of sheep, but, except of horses, were of a very inferior quality. In the evening there was the usual dinner, at which the president, Mr. Chadwick, took the chair, and there was also pre sent Lord Bateman, the Hon. Cecil Hinbury L2n nox, M.P., Mr. Gawthorne Hardy, M.P., and Mr. King King, M.P. After the usual toasts, Lord BATEMAN being called upon to respond to that of " The Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire," said the office of their representatives in the House of Commons at these agricultural meetings was to give an account of their stewardship for the past year, which, no doubt, these present would do. For his part he would say that he thought they had reason to congratulate themselves that the sagacity of a Prime Minister, 80 years old, had certainly saved them from a great curse—namely, a war with foreign countries, (Cheers.) He 'said that not from any personal regard for Lord Palmerston, for he and those around him had joined in a vote of censure on the Government in reference to the treatment of Denmark and the way in which the negotiations in reference to that country had been conducted ; but it was impossible for any one to look at the state of Europe, to look at the arrogance of some foreign countries, and to the attitude maintained by France, by Austria, and by Italy, without congratulating themselves on the fact that they had not been invol-ed in war, In offering this as a matter of congratulation, he did not mean to say that the country approved of the spoliation of Denmark. They remembered the re ception that had been given to the Princess of Watts when she cam: to this country, and there could be no doubt that the woe, the misery, and the disaster which befel her fatherland came home to the hearts of all in this country. (11,ar.) The health of " The County Members" having been given from tho chair, Mr KING KING said he should take advantage of the rule of the society which excluded party politie, but be might say that in the absence of party politicp, with peace abroad and prespetity at home, they were happily left to work out these problems ol social and moral improvement which they all more or less had at heart. In reply to the toast of "The Borough Members," Mr GAWTHORNE HARDY said the time was not far distant whew members of Parliament would be called upon to give on the hustings that account of their stewardship to which Lord Bateman had al luded, and when that time came he should be ready to make hfs report. In the leading journal, the other day, they were told that no members of Par liament had a right to appear before their constitue ents without giving them full instructions on the things of the day; but, nevertheless, they found the pages of that same paper filled with reviews of books, with letters on the rearing of bees, and on sewing machines. (Loud laughter.) With regard to agricultural prospects, they were now subjected to unrestrict e d competition, and it behoved them by means of improved agriculture to get out of the land more than they had hitherto done. Agriculture had made great strides in the last few years, looking to the implements, the build ings, and the skill which farmers exercised in what he might call the manipulation of manners. He re commended farmers to carefully study the blue book recently issued by Parliament on the subject of the sewage of towns. Passing to another subject, he observed that Parliament had taken in hand the sub. ject of the education of the poor, and also of the rich, and it was now proposed to have an inquiry as to the education of the middle classes. When so much was being done for the poor, it behoved them to see that their workmen were not better educated than their own sons. (Hear, hear.) It had been said that their workpeople received an education calculated to unfit them for their position. If that were so, it was the fault of the mode Of education, and not of the education itself. It was for the land lords to provide proper cottage accommodation for the labourers on their estates. If the landlord did his duty in this respect, he effected as much good for the farmer and tenant as if he provided good stabling for their horses and good pigstyes for their pigs. Far be it from him to speak of the poor as on a par with the beasts of the field, but he must say that in some places he had seen the poor living in habitations less suited for them than those provided for the lower animals. In conclusion, the hon. mem ber spoke of Post-office savings banks and the Go vernment Annuities Bill as offering great advane tages to the working population of this country. The Hon. CECIL HANBURY LENNOX also re sponded to the toast. The lames had been pleased to give to the speeches at the agricultural meetings the title of " extra- Parliamentary utter ances." He (the speaker) looked upon it that the orators at these meetings, from the Premier himself downwards, were in the habit of thrashing out the straw which had already been well bela boured, until the residue was the very dustiest chcff. (Laughter.) They had already bad two ope rations of this kind performed by their members that evening, and it only remained for him to sweep the floor and see if there were any corn at all left for him. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the late session of Parliament, they might be thankful for three mercies in reference to it—peace, Palmerston, and prosperity. He would not touch on the aff tire connected with Bre zil, with Denmark, with Abh• antee, or with America, but he would merely, in re ference to the national humiliation that had been PRICE ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. c!udiog Mr Base's bitter crusade against barrel organs, and said he anticipated his next meeting with his hearers would be at the hustings. Other toasts of a local character followed. submitted to, observe that they had certainly got out of the mess, but it had been said abroad, with regard to the manner in which they had escaped, that the England of to-day was not the England of former days. There could be no doubt that the spirit which had characterised our negotiations with foreign countries of late had caused a blush on many an English countenance. The speaker then referred to one or two measures of last session, in- 111':AR DOCTOR, what do Ton ativiPp uov __ JuliLn's Concerts, afterwards to EVANS', the,7,eta.„nrden. hear some charming singing, order one 01 besitra _victal chn:s and magnificent potatoes, and that is the e I can n'iNa, b you. tLNARA.N'S LI.

To Paris Via Dieppe, (From the Railway .News,) The three chief routes between England and France, as everybody knows, are by Dover and Calais, by Folkestone, and Boulogne, and by Newhaven and 'Dieppe. Look at the map, and you will see that the line from London to Paris by Newhaven. and Dieppe is much more direct and shorter, in actual mileage, than either of the other two lines. If it were all dry land, it would be by far the best mode of communi cation, and the others would have little more chance of competing with it than a line which led from London to Brimingham by way of Ipswich would have with one which ran straight between the two cities. It is the interposition of that unsociable element, the Bea, which makes all the dif ference. The deep valley which the waves, aided by terres trial convulsions, have worn between the chalk cliffs of France and England, which probably began to yawn since man appeared upon the earth, is at the narrowest where Dover and Folkestone look across at Calais and Boulogne, and widens to twice the distance between Newhaven and Dieppe. Here we have a striking illustration of the supe riority of land over water transit in respect of speed, for the comparatively slight difference in mileage (as it would be deemed on shore) between the Newhaven and the other two ferries more than neutralises the advantage which the for mer route derives from its very much shorter mileage on land. For all that, however, there is not any very great difference between them in point of time for ordinary tra vellers. Those who go direct from London to Paris, on busi ness of urgency, or who have a horror of the sea, will, of course, choose either Dover or Folkestone lines. Those who want to see something more of France than its metro polis, and who do not grudge a little delay on the journey for that object, will not hesitate to take the Newhaven route. The sea passage ought not to be a deterrent. It occupies only some five hours and a half or six hours—indeed, the new boat, the Marseilles, accomplished it the other day in four and a half—and the Channel is often much more angry and tempestuous between its narrower straits. An atom in the vast tide of metropolitan humanity which flows every morningbetween 8 and 10 from the suburbs to the City to ebb again at dusk, we one day find ourselves drifted into the side eddy of the London• bridge terminus, and presently are being whirled away southwards. All the trim little villas of New Cross and Forest Mil seem to be racing up to town as we rush past; the Sydenham Palace makes us wink as, like a great chrysolite, it flashes to the sun in a sudden blaze and then is lost to sight, A pause of a few seconds at Croydon, and then we are dashing through a fine country, clothed a few weeks ago with wreaths of heps and breadthe of yellow grain, but still richly green with foliage, though the hop-poles are ranged in tented order and the wheat is only ragged stubble in the fields. Reigate shows its red lace an instant and is gone. We catch a glimpse of Lewes, looking very blue with many slates— slates on its roofs and its gables—slates everywhere. A jerk round a sharp curve and here we aro at Newhaven wharf— a quiet little port in a cleft of the long chalk cliffs. The Alexandra, snorting spasmodically and emitting impatient gushes of steam, as if eager to be off, is lying at the quay to receive her passengers, who have now an opportunity of inspecting each other. There is the usual m3tley crew—the old travellers, who profit by experience to rush down stairs and make a comfortable lunch with a little brandy and sel: eer to wash it down, and then select snug places upon deck; the timid ones, who immediately begin to swallow mysterious chemicals, administered in so many drops in a tuniblertul of water, concerning which, when we inquire of the steward as to what it is, we elicit, after evasive replies, an indignant exclamation, " Bless you, that 'ere nasty stuff won't do 'em any good—there's nothing like a glass of prime stout or a stiff go of grog if you feel queer, I can tell you ;" the reckless ones, who quail ale and begin to smoke large cigars defiant of old Neptune, who, however, does not long delay a cruel revenge; the inquisitive ones, who want to know how the wind is, the length of the keel, the number of the crew, the name of the stoker, the age of the steward's wife, and so on; the " swells," who have " made up" for the voyage, some nautically, in rough pea jackets and mo dified sou-western, some en grande tome, light kid gloves, patent leather boots, and opera glass in glossy case slung round their shoulder, and one, Heaven save the mark 1 in shooting boots and knickerbockers (not that his legs are much to look at, after all.) There are the foreigners, too, looking already quite green, as if reflecting the complexion of the hateful element, and clothed, some of them, in strange modifications of English costume intended to astonish their families in France, as this one here, in a huge cabman's great coat of a fiae cream colour, adorned with large oyster shell buttons and elaborate plaits and seams, crossing and recrossing each other fantastically; and this other, in a full suit of corduroys, supposed to represent the ordinary habi liment of the first aristocracy in the world. Meanwhile the luggage is being swung down the hold, and some interest is manifested in the stout, square, little iron bound boxes which are being carefully counted one by one, and piled up in a safe corner by themselves. These are full of bullion. A large rill of that drain of specie, of which we hear so much talk about nowadays, finds it way through Newhaven to the Continent. One of our kid glove friends is trying hard to pass himself off as somehow connected with this costly freight ; but the real officer in charge is that quiet, keen eyed gentleman who is standing apart enjoying the joke. At length ev rybody and everything are on board, the moorings unfastened, and with a shrill whistle the Alexandra glides out of the narrow harbour. Of the voyage little need be said. The sea is tolerably quiet, and except the foreigners and one or two Britons who have made up their mind that they ought to be ill, and must be ill, the company rather enjoy the fresh sea breeze, which already begins to redden wan cheeks, blanched by the care and confinement of the towns, into something like the hue of health. There are one on two married couples on board, some of them newly married, and here we are tempted to make a remark. In our guide book we find it stated, among other singular cus toms of Normandy, that when a marriage occurs there is sometimes a fight between the bride and her groom at the altar, for in putting on the ring if the man can push it be low the second joint he will be master of his wife and house, whereas, if he fails, the sway will be with the woman. We suspect a sea voyage is better calculated to decide the ques tion. No matter how low the husband may have thrust the ring, if he suffers from the mal de mer and his wife does not, you may be sure his superiority is gone for ever. Young men about to marry, listen to the voice of wisdom and the counsel of experience—Don't let your wedding trip be across the waters, unless you are perfectly sure of "sea legs," or that the angel of your soul will bo as bad as yourself I Chatting, dozing, sipping brandy and water, promenading, and killing time in various ways, the five hours and odd slip past, and we have reached the white cliffs of Dieppe, which are just the image of those we left on the other side. No matter how often one crosses the Channel, it is always a curious sensation for an Englishman to find himself under the control of a soldier-police. We pass up to the custom house between two files of armed men; there are more of them at the railway station, and we are shut up in a salle d'attente, in order that the " authority" may have another opportunity of asserting itself. However, let us be thankful for the privilege of entering France with the simple decla ration, " Je suis Anglais," and without being asked for a passport. Dieppe is not a very attractive town. It is moderately picturesque in parts, and not immoderately dirty except in the Pellet, where a race of wild fishermen dwell, who speak a patois of their own, and whom you have no occasion to visit unless you choose to study manners in a primitive and savage form. Thero is a large and handsome Et.iblissement de Baas oa the beach, where there are balls, concerts, and pleasant social gatherings, and the environs in the direction of Argues are rather pretty. Still, life in Dieppe is fl it and dull. It is a good place to go to, but not to stop in. It is good to go there, because it is a convenient starting-point for several charming spots. A cheap and easy coach ride along the coast leads, for instance, to St. Valery-en-Caux, where there is good sea bathing, and quiet quarters in a quaint little town at the bottom of a chasm between two steep heights. Further southwards, also on the coach road, is Fee,amp, where those who like gaiety and fashion by the seashore will have their desire gratified to the full, It is a curious little town, built of white and black flints, in a narrow ravine, with a remarkable old church in its midst, and the ruins of an abbey in its neighbourhood. Etretat is nearer Havre, and is a watering place of a different charac ter. An enthusiastic licentiate in law, who has written a little book about Normandy, breaks into sentimental rap tures about this little marine village, where handsome villas stand shoulder to shoulder with the rude cabins of the in digenous fishermen. it attracts, we are told, by something savage and unexpected, the man who delights to study in * the great book of nature, or to dream in solitude on the The Bayonne Exhibition, (From the Times Correspondent.) BAYONNE, Oct. 5. International Exhibitions, as was once said of the " immortal principles of 'E9," are likely to make the tour of the world. This year there has been a Franco- Spanish one in Bayonne, which has only just closed; and San Sebastian, of its time-honoured fortifica tions the last stone is removed, purposes to return the compliment, It is not likely, however, that Bayonne will soon imitate the Spanish town in the demolition of its ramparts anJ redoubts. It still maintains its old device, numquanz polluta, and, like Peronne, is proud of its supposed immunity from the trials to which other strong places have been exposed. If certain local chronicles are entitled to belief, Bayonne stands on the site of the Lapurdum of antiquity ; and it would seem that Lapurdum had no such creditable mottoes to show, for we are told that in the Basque language Lapurdum means no thing more or less than the "city 9f thieves," a cha racter which the modern town certainly deserves as little as any other agglomeration of 26,000 souls. Bayonne—baiu-ona, the Basque for good bay— was, as everybody knows, for 300 years or so in posses sien of the English. Its annal speaks of its having been besieged, and besieged unsuccessfully, though considerably maltreated, 13 or 14 times. It was here that Catherine of Medicis and Charles IX. concocted with the Duke of Alba the St. Bartholomew massa cre; and the B ayonese record with just pride the answer which Adriane d'Apremout, Count of Orthes, then governor of their town, made to the request for his co-operation towards that bloody work : Sire,—l have laid your Majesty's commands before the loyal inhabitants and the men-at-arms of this garrison. I have found only honourable citizens and valiant soldiers, but not a single assassin. Wherefore, they and I, Sire, most humbly supplicate your Majesty-to be pleased to em ploy our arms and our lives in deeds that are possible, how dangerous soever they be ; and in executing them we shall shed the last drop of our blood. It is a pity to distarb the faith in such traditions, but sceptics, who take pleasure in throwing doubt upon everything, deny that there is warrant for the boast, but that, like other well-known and neatly turned sayings, such as that of Henri IV. and the poule au pot, Louis XIV. and the suppression of the Ps renees, Mirabcau's to the summons of the Marquis de Dreux Brers in the States General, and even Cambronne's " sublime" reply to the English at Waterloo, it is more flattering than true. It is cer tain, however, that the Grand Moncrque took Bayonne on his way to St. Jean de Luz, where he went to get married to Marie Teresa of Spain ; and the ruins of the Chateau of Marrac hard by mark the spot where the Royal family of Spain, the wittol Charles IV., Lis worthless Queen, and the " black-eyed youth Gado)." fell into the hands of a still greater monarch. Of all fortified places that I have any experience of Bayonne is decidedly the least stern to look at. Its drawbridges are passed at all hours of the day and night, in summer and winter, autumn and spring; and its gates are ever open. The moat that surrounds the walls is chiefly frequented by vagrants of eight or ten years old, who spend hours in the fruitless attempt to fish in its muddy and shallow water with cart whips for rods and crooked pins for hooks; and the inoffensive conscript who mounts guard hard by look more than half disposed to join them. Redoubts, half-moons, curtains, &c., all terrible on paper, here seem made only for re posing upon, and the soft verdure which covers the slopes of the earthworks Eu B gests a siesta. It is actually on the glacis of this pacific looking for tress that the International Exhibition was erected. It is a temporary structure of wood and canvhs, lighted from the top with a lofty portico of the same fragile material, decorated with the arms of France, Paris, Madrid, and the Spanish provinces represented by their products. The said portico was somewhat shorn of its proportions a fortnight ago, having been blown' down one night,and its restora tion was only partial. In one respect it resembled other Exhibitions of far greater pretensions. It was announced to open on the 10th of July, but was not complete for some time after the official inaugura tion. A number of huts soon sprung up round the main building, like the camp followers that are found 'clanging on the flanks and rear of an army ; and the merry-go-rounds, shooting galleries, portable billiard tables, inoffensive animals described as ferocious, and good-naturedly accepted as fresh from the jungle; rope-dancers in pink muslin, mid. dle-aged, and a trifle too ponderous for the profes sion ; warriors bearded like the pard, enacting the battle of Soiferino and the capture of Palikao ; the indispensable vivandiere planting the tricolour on a Chinese fortress, and the Sister of Charity tending a wounded Zouave—all these attractions caught too successfully, I fear, the attention of the young and thoughtless, and were not without effect in divert- ing even staid persons from the more serious object before them. Financial con,siderations might, it is rue, have been the cause of the rare attendance for the first few weeks. The admission was 2f. on Friday, half a franc on Thursday, and if. on other days. Two francs even in Paris would make people hesitate; and how much more so in a provincial town ? The tariff, however, was reduced to 50c. or half a franc, with the exception of one day in the week when a franc was charged. The Bayonne Exhibition, though not to be spoken of the same day as that of Paris, and some what mean and tawdry in its external appearance, was not without interest. In the large courtyard, by which the public entered, stood a crucifix of colossal size in blue granite, and which was allowed by competent judges to display considerable merit, particularly when it was known that it was the production of a quarryman named Henrot. Some well-known Paris houses, perhaps in the expecta tion of the visit of the Court to Bayonne, as usual, sent some fine, I will not say their best, specimens. Among the goldsmiths' work Froment-Meurice ex, hibited portions of a dinner service made for the Pasha of Egypt, and valued at 600,000 f. ; a ciboire, or Communion cup, from the design, it is said, of a Polish lady, presented by her to the Church of Pau; a rich and exquisitely sculptured chalice ; a second one, encrusted with rubies and turquoise; and a tea service for the Empress of the French. Christofle, of Paris, also sent specimens of silver-gilt articles of the same kind; Clessinger and Fremiet their bronzes, and in ironwork groups.of statues for foun. tains, dogs and horses' heads as ornaments for ken nels and stables. One gallery was devoted to the Aubusson tapestry of Requillart and Cloquart and porcelain of Bordeaux manufacture. Tissues of various kinds, house furniture, musical instruments of every variety, metals, ores, agricultural products, ploughs of many forms, machinery, cotton from Algeria, minerals, grain, specimens of hard wood from Africa of dark colour and capable of high polish, cedars of Lebanon 400 years old, specimens of Paris pottery, imitations•of Italian mujolica, &e., filled several galleries. Though the Exhibition professed to be Franco-Spanish, yet Spain did not contribute. much in the way of natural products, reserving herself perhaps for the San Sebastian one promised for next year. Still there were in the agricultural section a few samples of Malaga and Logrono wines, which it was a pity one could only look at, and the wheat, rye, and maize of Cordova seemed to be of the very finest quality. In an annexe, which was opened only three weeks ago, was the fbwer and fruit show. Of both there were some fine specimens, and nothing could be finer than the grapes and pears from the gardens of the Casa Caradoc, a property close to Bayonne, be- longing to Lord Howden ; those of Biandos, the pro perty of M. Basterriche, Receiver-General of the department; and those supplied from the gardens of M. Le Beuf, of Bayonne. Neither has Spain been very brilliant in the fine /// i .ri_k 1 r 44, xle r a-a a , a: .. i .. 5 ." ;;; " ..-.„ i arts department. If one may fornfain ' , . •.'''''

There was a full length portrait of Queen Isabella, coarse, heavy, and commonplace, by M: Louis Madrayo. Side by side with Royalty is a portrait which many who never saw the King Con sort believed to be his Majesty's, but which is said to be that of the painter himself. A dance in the court-yard of a posada by M. Fieros was excellent in its way, and his picture of the noble cathedral of Burgos and a chapel of that of Toledo have much of the poetry of the sacred edifices of Spain. In this department, too, Paris contr.butes something —two portraits by Ricard, she! ehes of scenery in France and the East, by MM. Courbet, Core% arid Brest, and, as a specimen of historical painting, Corneille reading one of his tragedies in the hotel Ramhouillet. Bayonne boasts of two painters— MM. Zs and Bonuat.

Bordeaux and Lyons sent some good landscapes, and among other objects of art were sketches in water-colours by the late Eugene de la Croix, photographs, &e. Not much was done, I fear, in the way of busia ness by the exhibitors. I suspect that the one who attracted most customers was a little French boy, who kept a stall for the sale of knife sharpeners at from 2f. to sf, a piece, and who was scarcely 11 years old. One could not pass his stall without stopping to have a chat with him, as he stood behind his counter dressed in a blue military tunic with tiny gold epaulettes, a cap called a " bonnet pelisse," and a little s sord banging up peacefully in its little steel scabbard 'behind him. There was nothing of pertness or forwardness in his manner. He was polite to everybody; answered readily all the questions put to him ; dwelt on the excellence of his wares, testing them by experiments which seemed to be conclusive. He spoke French so as to be easily understood, with, of course, a decidedly English accent ; and his mistakes, such as " tutoy ivy" everyone who converses with him, gave kit. nito amusement to the bystanders. With all his intelligence he was quite a child. When not en• gaged in business he amused himself like a child. On the whole the Bayonne Exhibition, though it may turn out profitable as a speculation, was highly creditable, particularly when we consider that it is its first attempt in this way. No doubt the ex pected presence of the Emperor and Empress en■ couraged exhibitors to send some of the best speci. mans of their industry,and the disappointment was considerable. But, however hurtful to their inte rests, the absence of the Court seemed to make little difference so far as Biarritz was concerned. No doubt the score or two of persons attached directly or indirectly to the Court were missed this summer, but for the last six weeks and more Bier. ritz was as peopled with visitors pretty n.ufah as in previous years. The opening of the railroad between Bayonne and San Sebastian, and the completion of the line to Madrid, not to speak of the Exhibition, had raised extravagan t hopes of an enormously crowded season, which were by no means realised. What is called the season is over, yet up to the present many still linger in and about Biarritz. And it is no wonder, for the sky is as blue, the sun as bright, and the temperature as warm as in July. The Port Vieux, the COte des Barques, and the COtes des Four, or, as it is now called, the COte Napoleon, were still frequented by bathers. Those who do not swim, but prefer to lie on the pure white sand, and let the breakers tumble over them, those who prefer a plunge from the reek and strike out to sea, may indulge in that most healthy pleasure at any spot and at all hours of the day. The water is the purest in the world, and at the lowest tide you have no mud to wade through to get to it, but a fine sandy beach. Fsw persons now come to this part of the Pyre• nees without paying a visit to Spain, were it only as far as Irun, Fontainbin, San Sebastian, or Loyola, the birthplace of the founder of the Jesuits, whose convent still stands in that lovely valley. The line runs from Bayonne through eve of the most pi - turesque countries imsgineble—Bidart, Guetary, St, Jean de Luz, where it crosses the Neville; and Hen days on the Bidassoa, from which you can almost look into Fontarabia, skirts the sea coast, and con tinues its way along valleys and slops whose verdure not even the July or August sun cm impair. The first view °Aught of the little town of Passages is at an opening of the road ; it suddenly appears rising out of its little bay, locked in between the la'zquilet sod Ulia hills, and the old castle of San Sebastian in the distance is one of the most charming ima. ginable. On the other hand, the approach to Bay onne by the valleys of the Nice and Adour, with the slopes covered with handsome villas peeping out feom the luxuriant foliage, and remarkable among the fine mansions, the Case Caradoc of Lord Howden, situated on the brow of the valley, with its terraces glittering in the sun, its fair gardens, and its sloping lawns. Near this place the Nive is crossed by a bridge 83 metres long, and the Adour by one of 268 metres. From Bayonne and San Sebastian, and vice versa, there are three trains daily—one at 6 a.m., and one at 3 'a.m., sad one at 6 p.m. The trip takes two hours and a half, in. eluding the indispensable delay at the Spanish and French Custom-houses, the former at Iran, and the latter at Hendaya. As I write the weather threatens a change. We have just had a thunderstorm of some violence with rain in abundance, but the temperature still warm. A few days' continuous rain would clear Biarritz of to remaining visitors. Foreign Mail Packet List. MAILS DUE. Australia and Mauritius, via Southampton ..

THE MASTER OF MARTON. A novel. 3 vole.— " There is a good deal to admire in ' The Master of Marton' It is well written, and it has an interesting plot. It will take a very high place among the novels of the Kasen. The character of the heroine is most admirably drawn. The growth of her intelligence, the first yielding to hasty im pulses, and the subsequent steadying down to a beautiful, cheerful, kind, loving woman, are excellently worked out; and the same may be said of almost every character in the book—there is not one upon whom the greatest care has not been bestowed. The dialogue throughout is good, speaking everywhere with geniality and wit."—Star. THE HORSES OF PHIDIAS, says M. Berjean, are of the pure Arabian race, although, when compared with the present type, their head is more square and larger. When the horseman is on foot his breast is at a level with the head of the horse ; when on horseback his feet are lower than its knee. Here the neck of the Greek horse is strong and muscular, his shoulders are well set, the breast deep, the joints strong, dry, and admirably perpendicular ; the back is short, and the tail carried with a peculiar elegance. The mane is generally cut brush-seise, while the tail is long and floats freely in the brerz 3. The horseman wants neither saddle nor stirrups, and under his directions the horse is either racing or cantering in a gentle gallop. But no mat trr what motion the artist may have chosen to depict, his marble horses arc almost really living. Their admirable proportions and fine bearing , no doubt, caused them to find favour in the eye=, and mercy at the hands, of the Mussul man devastators, whose fanaticism so sadly mutilacd the heads of the horsemen. more per tioularly perhaps Lect.use the representation of men is prohibited by the Alcoren.

This depravity can be corrected by taking a course or an occa sional dose of Holloway's famous purifying pills, which ex pel all morbid matters from the circulation, and thoroughly cleanse and invigorate the glands, viscera, and brain. Through this wholesome inflttonce Holloway's medicine casts out the seeds of all fevers which, in sultry weather, prove so formidable to health, and in a vast majority of cases destroy lite itself. Forewarned should be forearmed—a position easily obtained by taking these excellent pills when lassitude, headache, or dejection distresses us.
